The report used input in conjunction with information from the literature and from professional workshops and meetings to identify some of the potential issues in the use of the larger trucks. A survey was conducted of motor carriers who operate in North Carolina and who were likely candidates for the use of the larger configurations. These motor carriers provided a range of information, including their current usage rates and their best projections of future usage of the larger trucks. The latter information was used to arrive at projections of truck usage on specific roadways for use by the State Division of Highways in roadway maintenance/upgrading planning. However, this information does not appear in the report because it was company specific and therefore condifential. Consequently, the information in the report includes only the other types of information that were provided.
